1. Detailed and comprehensive real-life case studies

Dr. Kharrazian is a world-renowned functional medicine practitioner who receives referrals of patients with complex conditions from all over the world. In this program he will invite you into his own clinical practice to take you through the clinical work-up and thought process of managing these patients.  

He will walk you through:

• The evaluation process step-by-step 
• Key points of the medical history
• The physical examination through videos
• Review and evaluation of the patient’s past laboratory test and diagnoses
• How he develops a clinical strategy involving multiple variables
• Personalizing a treatment protocol

You will be able to observe the patient during follow-up appointments that include modifications to the treatment plan and real-life clinical outcomes — both clinical successes and failures.  

There is no better way to learn clinical skills than having the opportunity to observe case study grand rounds.

2. Clinical expert interview series 

In each monthly module, Dr. Kharrazian will interview a leading researcher or clinician on a specific clinical topic.  Dr. Kharrazian has an extensive list of highly respected clinicians and researchers that he has worked with over the years.  

He will bring you into his personal network of experts and let them share with you their expertise, giving you the opportunity to learn directly from some of the most distinguished and experienced clinicians in functional medicine.

 

3. Balancing your practice with a healthy lifestyle 

Burn out is a serious consideration in running a functional medicine practice. 

Dr. Kharrazian has trained thousands of healthcare practitioners, many of whom have developed highly successful functional medicine clinics and are willing to share their lessons on avoiding burnout while staying successful.

In each monthly module, Dr. Kharrazian will interview a successful clinician about how they run their clinical practice, important lessons they have learned in practice management, and how they have learned to balance their life with the demands of a busy practice.  

You will learn about the struggles they have gone through, the lessons they have learned, and important advice they share with the Clinical Mastership Training community to improve their practice while maintaining balance in the rest of their life.

 

4. Physical Examination Mastery 

In each monthly module, Dr. Kharrazian will teach you how to examine and differentially diagnose specialized physical examination findings. 

The physical examination can provide key clinical information that can help you develop treatment plans and organize specific laboratory tests.

 

5. Laboratory interpretation clinical pearl series

In each monthly module, Dr. Kharrazian will share key topics in laboratory analysis to help you build your diagnostic and interpretative skills in evaluation and in ordering proper profiles. 

 

6. Clinical management clinical pearl series

In each monthly module, Dr. Kharrazian will share an important clinical management clinical portal to help clinicians improve how they manage their patients.
